Hurricane Polo has grown into one of the most powerful Pacific cyclones in decades, and it was expected to skirt Mexico’s southwestern coast as a Category 5 storm. As hurricane polo intensifies, various queries related to it have started trending on Google with many people searching hurricane polo tracker, hurricane polo path, where is hurricane polo, hurricane polo Mexico and hurricane polo track. Hurricane Polo intensified on Tuesday, weather forecasters warned and added that it could strengthen further as the Category 5 storm moves alongside the southwestern coast of Mexico. Polo was an “extremely dangerous” storm with maximum sustained winds of 165 m.p.h. (265 km/h), the US National Hurricane Center in Miami said Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, hurricane polo was almost stationary and was about 200 miles (325 kilometres) south of Zihuatanejo in Guerrero state. It was forecast to turn sharply to the northwest during the day and then move in west-northwest over the next several days. Tropical storm conditions were expected along the Pacific coast in Guerrero, Michoacan and Colima states Wednesday into Thursday.
